My child had a great time at The Gardner School - Lincolnshire. The staff members and teachers are always welcome and friendly. The teachers in each classroom are very responsible, and they care about the child health condition and academic development on a day-to-day basis. When we pick up our child, she always wants to stay longer at school. That tells me how comfortable she feels when she is at school interacting with her friends and teachers. The staff also pay a lot attention to details, especially the pronunciation of the child's name and their parents' names. We had opportunities to participate in the graduation ceremony and holiday parties this year and found it very eventful and well organized. I would recommend The Gardner School - Lincolnshire to friends who live nearby.
Tianlin QianNov 5, 2025We absolutely love The Gardners School! The curriculum, schedule, and enrichment classes are amazing, and the teachers and staff are so warm and caring. Our son loves going every day. It’s truly a wonderful place to grow and learn!
HariniOct 7, 202510/10 Stars: TGS School has truly exceeded all our expectations! The teachers, especially [Ms Jacky and Ms Robin], are amazing and dedicated. The intensive curriculum in their Threes and Pre-K classrooms is impressive and truly inclusive, providing a strong foundation for early learning. My three-year-old learned how to read within just three months of starting at TGS — an incredible achievement that speaks volumes about their teaching approach. What really stands out is how they supported my child’s emotional growth and transition through big feelings. They provided all the right tools and worked closely with us throughout the process, making sure he felt understood and supported. A big shout out to Ashleigh Holley — she was amazing and so helpful during this journey. Initially, I considered enrolling my infant part-time at another daycare because TGS didn’t offer part-time care for babies under two, but I just couldn’t bring myself to send her anywhere else. I wasn’t impressed with other options after visiting them. TGS has set the highest standards in early childhood education. Now, with my second child enrolled, I see how well she’s interacting with her peers, always happy, and genuinely excited at pick up time. My toddler looks forward to daycare every Monday through Friday, and that speaks volumes about how much He also loves it there. We love it here and highly recommend TGS to any parent looking for a nurturing, high-quality early education environment.
Titilope BakareAug 11, 2025I love how welcoming the admin team are. Sarah and Ashleigh have been nothing short of an extended part of our family in welcoming our daughter to the school especially as she started off with a difficult transition. Their personalized welcome to both myself and my daughter really means a lot. Andrea and Bernisha are AMAZING. The relationship they built with my daughter in such a short period of time has been so heartwarming to witness. I love seeing my daughter run to them and at pick up I can see that she’s in good hands. She’s learning a lot and I love the pictures and videos shared throughout the day!

My boys love the variety of activities offered, from sports to arts and cooking. The communication between teachers and parents is excellent, ensuring we are always informed and feel part of their educational journey.If you’re looking for a nurturing, high-quality school where your kids can thrive, the Gardner School of Lincolnshire is the perfect choice. I highly recommend it to any family!
Sheehuavah MouaNov 13, 2024Our daughter has been attending this school since she was a toddler. We are so happy with the care and education she has been receiving. I can say the educational curriculum here is one of the best. We particularly like the daily communication between the teachers and us. We love seeing pictures and videos of our daughter being so engaged with fun activities throughout the day. Most importantly, our daughter is happy to go here every morning and she looks forward to the day. The director, Sarah Smith and her staff are top notch. We meet a lot of families with kids that attend grade school now, who years later rave about Sarah and her staff at the school.
